Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Zucker | First 5 Authors: Weixiang Jin, Michael Zucker, Arnd Pralle, , | Summary: Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers. […]

Automatic coding of students’ writing via Contrastive Representation Learning in the Wasserstein space

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ruijie Jiang, Julia Gouvea, David Hammer, Eric Miller, Shuchin Aeron | Summary: Qualitative analysis of verbal data is of central importance in the learning sciences. It is labor-intensive and time-consuming, however, which limits the amount of data researchers can include in studies. This work is a step […]

Unraveling the origin of magnetic fields in galaxies

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Harley Katz, Debora Sijacki, Julien Devriendt, Adrianne Slyz | Summary: Despite their ubiquity, there are many open questions regarding galactic and cosmic magnetic fields. Specifically, current observational constraints cannot rule out if magnetic fields observed in galaxies were generated in the Early Universe or are […]

The Magellan-TESS Survey I: Survey Description and Mid-Survey Results

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Johanna Teske, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Angie Wolfgang, Tianjun Gan, Mykhaylo Plotnykov | Summary: $Kepler$ revealed that roughly one-third of Sun-like stars host planets orbiting within 100 days and between the size of Earth and Neptune. How do these planets form, what are they made of, and do […]

Sunspot simulations: penumbra formation and the fluting instability

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Mayukh Panja, Robert Cameron, Sami K. Solanki, , | Summary: The fluting instability has been suggested as the driver of the subsurface structure of sunspot flux tubes. We conducted a series of numerical experiments where we used flux tubes with different initial curvatures to study the effect […]

Flavor Triangle of the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Zahra Tabrizi, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , , | Summary: Although Galactic core-collapse supernovae (SNe) only happen a few times per century, every hour a vast number of explosions happen in the whole universe, emitting energy in the form of neutrinos, resulting in the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). […]

On the Convergence of Reinforcement Learning in Nonlinear Continuous State Space Problems

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Raman Goyal, Suman Chakravorty, Ran Wang, Mohamed Naveed Gul Mohamed, | Summary: We consider the problem of Reinforcement Learning for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems. We show that in the RL setting, there is an inherent “Curse of Variance" in addition to Bellman’s infamous “Curse of Dimensionality", in […]
